About my pains with alcohol.

it’s a black bottomless pit into which i find
myself floating idle stagnant with lost
hopes and dreams never able to redeem
or too grasp even the tiniest straw of
reality unable to claw my way out i sink
deeper and deeper into the vast darkness
feeling lost and all alone never able too
break those feelings of dispair always
choking on the black stagnant air it’s a
cruel ugly world into which i find myself
falling still i search and i search for even
the slightest glimmer of hope yet it’s all to
no avail still i swim and i dive trying all
i can think of to just survive and still i
continue to fight looking for a handhold
anything that will bring me out of the
darkness and into the light but no matter
how hard i fight it’s always a losing battle
when i live my life in a bottle
